SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 432,776, dated. July22, 1890.

Application filed October 15, 1889- Serial No. 327,136. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it. known that I, CARL STULPNAGEL, of the city, county, and State ofNew York, a citizen of the Empire of Germany, have invented certain newand useful Improvements in Advertising-Vehicles, of which the followingis a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a vehicle for carrying anddisplaying advertisements by day or night.

The invention consists in the construction and combination of parts anddetails, as will be fully described and set forth hereinafter, andfinally pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings,Figure 1 is a front view of my improvedadvertising-vehicle, parts being broken out and others in section. Fig.2 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view of'the same. Fig. 3 is aplan view of the under side of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

In the circular vehicle-frame A the axle B is mounted to turn,on whichaxle the wheels C and O are mounted, the wheel C being fixed on the axleand the wheel 0' loose. From the rear part of the frame A the handle Dprojects and from-the front a fork E projects, in which the additionalwheel F is mounted. The axle B passes through a sleeve G in the frame A,which sleeve is supported by the longitudinal shaft H in the frame A.From the intersection of the sleeve G and shaft H the threaded stem Jprojects upward. A circular plate K, having a central neck K, rests uponrollers L on the axle B and shaft H. On the plate K a cylindrical orpolygonal frame M is formed, which is provided with a cone-shaped top orhead N, the bottom diameter of which is preferably greater than thediameter of the casing M.

The casing M and its conical top N surround a tubular central standard0, screwed on the stem J and projecting above the top of the conical topN, which standard is provided with a series of burner-tips P. Areceptacle Q for gasoline is placed on the upper end of the standard 0.The beveled cogwheel R on the axle 13 engages a beveled cogwheel S onthe under sides of the plate K.

The cylindrical casing or frame M is provided with a door T.

The rods or ribs in the cylindrical casing M and top N may be coveredwith wire-netting, as shown in Fig. 2, or with any other suitablematerial, and on the same sheets of paper, canvas, or other materialbearing advertisements are secured.

WVhen thevehicle is trundled or rolled along, the casing M and its headN are rotated around the fixed standard 0, thus displaying theadvertisements to great advantage.

At night the lamps or burners within the casing are lighted, so as toclearly show the advertisements. j

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- The combination, with a vehiclerame having atransverse axle and a shaft at right angles to the axle, of rollersmounted on said axle and shaft, a plate resting on said rollers, atubular standard supported on the vehicleframe at the intersection ofthe shaft and aXle, a casing formed on the above-mentioned plate andsurrounding the vertical standard, burner-tips on said verticalstandard, a gasoline-receptacle on said standard, a beveled pinion onthe axle of the vehicle, and a beveled cog-Wheel on the under side ofthe abovementioned plate and engaging said beveled pinion, substantiallyas set forth.

In testimony that 1 claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed myname in presence of two subscribing witnesses.

CARL STllLPNAGEL.
